we road tripped our way down to texas last week. it's an 800 mile drive, which takes approximately 12 hours. 14 when you figure in stops. we went to texas for several reasons... aubrey bought a motorcycle that we needed to pick up, i had an event at madewell in houston, the big kids made plans to spend as much time as possible with their friends, we wanted to eat good food at some of our favorite restaurants and spend time with our friends and aubrey's family. we also rented a house in austin for a couple of days with our friends josh and brooke and their two kids to go to ACL, enjoy the festival and watch our friends band play. it was a non-stop, always on the go, busy trip. i apologize in advance for the overload of photos...
there you have it. our texas trip in photos. julian and milla spent most of the time hanging out and having sleepovers with their best friends, which is why i didn't get many photos of them. they had a blast and can't wait until next time. all of the kids impressed me so much with their patience and good spirits on the road. it's crazy what having good, comfortable car seats can do for the little ones. they didn't seem to mind the long drive at all and slept much of the time. we stocked up on snacks and activities and bought several $5 dvds for the ride which kept everyone entertained for the most part. of course there were a few moments of chaos, that's a given, but for the most part i think we've got this road tripping thing down.
